I’ve worked with Jim for a number of years, initially as a candidate and more recently as a client. The key difference is that Jim takes the time to understand your situation fully and can be relied upon to find strong candidates. When I needed to rebuild a commercial finance team, Jim ultimately sourced and placed 90% of the team for me.
I have worked with Jim for many years and he continues to deliver whenever I have a finance vacancy. He is definitely a go-to person, achieving results effectively and efficiently by building strong long-term relationships and truly understanding the skills, attributes, experience and cultural fit I need.
Jim’s communication was excellent and he kept me informed every step of the way. He took the time to understand my skills, experience and what I wanted from my next role. His persistence, industry knowledge and strategic approach helped me secure a fantastic new contract role.
I’m Jim Smith, founder of Elevate Search. I’ve worked in recruitment for more than 20 years, specialising in senior finance and transformation. I set up Elevate to offer a more personal way of recruiting, one where clients and candidates deal directly with the person managing the search. I take the time to understand the brief, the business and the people involved, then stay close to the process from start to finish. My approach is straightforward: clear communication, honest advice and a search that is properly considered.
Tell Jim what you need and he’ll come back to you directly.
